TFT Patch Schedule 2026: Complete Release Dates

If you want to know when the next Teamfight Tactics update arrives, you need a clear view of the 2026 patch calendar. Riot Games follows a structured release cycle, rolling out updates across the year to adjust balance, introduce content, and support each active set.

By tracking the confirmed 2026 patch dates, you can plan your ranked climbs, test new strategies, and prepare for major meta shifts. A full schedule helps you stay aligned with every upcoming change.

TFT patch schedule 2026

Riot plans most Teamfight Tactics updates for Wednesdays (PT), with occasional Thursday releases around holidays. You can expect a steady two‑week cadence across each set.

Set 17 begins in mid‑April and runs through mid‑July, followed by Set 18 and Set 19 later in the year.

• 17.1–17.7: Apr 15 to July 15
• 18.1–18.8: July 29 to Nov 4
• 19.1–19.2: Nov 18 to Dec 7

You can use this timeline to plan ranked pushes, tournament prep, and breaks between major balance shifts.

TFT patch notes 2026

You can expect new TFT updates to arrive mostly on Wednesdays, aligned with League of Legends patches but labeled differently. While both games share release days, TFT uses its own numbering format to track set progress.

The first number shows the set, and the second number marks the update within that set:

• 17.1 – Set 17, first patch
• 17.4 – Set 17, fourth patch
• 18.2 – Set 18, second patch

Riot plans for around eight updates per set, giving you regular balance changes and adjustments throughout each cycle.

Release dates can shift. If a delay happens, Riot typically notifies you within 48 hours of the planned launch.

TFT Sets 17, 18, and 19 release dates

You will play three major TFT sets in 2026, each spaced across the year. Riot follows a multi‑month cycle, so you can expect balance patches between these launches.

Set 17 is already live. Set 18 arrives during summer, and Set 19 closes out the year in winter.
